Just finished making a battlegroup of the British 33rd Armoured Brigade (one cavalry regiment and two mechanised infantry battalions) from the awesome schematics on the fireandfury site. Lots o' highlanders in taaaaaaaaanks!

I tried replicating the composition of my old brigade (82d), needless to say it isn't very feasible. Humvee/trucks only, maybe a few M113 based vehicles, but absolutely nothing heavier other than maybe a Sheridan if you want to be historical. You'll be relying on Apaches and air support to back up your fast infantry.

..and I wonder if my little scenario would fit in.. decks are based on what i found upon internet so there is mistakes and some items can be just ignored (bmpt for ex). But it's surely possible to improve it with your help.If this scenario is off topic, or the decks too much innacurate, i'll remove/move it to a better apropriate place. Era is fictionnal but inspired by current events, so i would understand if that hurts some people, then i can remove it if needed.

Plot :When diplomacy fails..1 March 1984, Crimea.After february recent troubles in Kiev, a tempoprary governement has been formed to claim Urkainian independance. the 1st Guards Armoured Brigade has clamed to belong to the new Kiev governement. The 1st Guards Armoured Brigade is now heading south to secure its new territory.Meanwhile at the Kremlin, direct orders are given to the 7th Guards Airborne-Assault Division to protect the russian population in Crimea, and most likely the naval base they have in there. To achieve this objective, Simferopol airport must be seized.

Notes :(to be extented)- 7th Guards Airborne-Assault Division should not go further the line in the 2nd picture.- Decks need improvement. i want em to become more realistic but there i'll need help

Oh hello old thread of mine, I thought you were dead. Well the thing about RD is that making any authentic decks seems basically to be IMPOSSIBLE due to the way Eugen is making it. The tiny national buff, the 5 deck slots and the stupidly small numbers of units makes it screw up on the first equations. I hope that in future they will change it to make it possible, but they seem to want to kill off the TO&E or ORBAT players. (based on officail announcements in which they described the new specializations as being nothing to do with TO&E and that any argument that people want to make TO&E or ORBAT decks is just brushed off or ignored)

I REALLY hope I am wrong about 99% of what I have written up to now though, but I am not seeing any evidence that I am wrong either in game, in official statements, or on the forum.

Anyway, having bled my heart all over that post I will share what I am running with currently that are semi realistic (As close as I can find)

It's definatly harder to do authentic decks but i tried also. It's kinda impossible to do a real BTR-based MRR/ -Brigade now or make a VDV-Deck without MANPADS or ATGMs in Choppers. For the soviet Air Assault and Marine Units i took brigades from the far eastern military district.

It got me so far, that i'm actually thinking about making Bataillon-sized , specialized units.

Here are some of my tries:

QRF, 1.GebirgsDivison (BRD, 1985), note that it's also reinforced from Corps-Level for example with units from the 25th Para Brigade or 2nd German Corps Aviation Brigade:Homsta+MerO3wj1Fi+MeosUjRYpGivSNFgkaN2PUWE2p55tRYzas7SMBrNsa7WCtJKAsOWHJGFBCgiPFHiXdLuvEniSt5W8LfUcixjRpahNQTzJ5os2WZbBS24fA155.

So, i follow up to Salamander7734 and hope i can inspire some people too. Hopefully we will see some authentic Asian or Anzac Decks soon.
